Short story collection

My dead wife came back after 4 years (complete)










Lying down like that, with my head on Taehyung's lap,

When Taehyung looked at Taeeun's growth diary that he had been writing, he felt like it was transparent for no reason.

No matter how hard I try to hold it in, I can't stand it.

After crying like that once more, I finally got what I had been waiting for for so long.

It was time for Tae-eun to come.








Tae-eun, who grew up well even while I was away.

During that time, Taehyung oppa, that is, my father, Taeeun's grandparents, Jimin, and Seokjin.

And from everyone else.

Tae-eun, who was able to grow up well because she was given more love than I, her mother.









Maybe because I can't see you again, touch you again, or hear your voice again.

So maybe I gave up.

Both Taehyung and Taeeun, whom I love so much...







What the heroine saw after dying was a long tunnel surrounded by black.

The self that appeared when I became a little more accustomed to the darkness.

When you lower your head, you can see your hands, arms, legs, shoes, etc.


After death, the only thing the heroine has touched is herself.

Because even in that dark, long tunnel, there was nothing to touch.


What the female protagonist heard after death was her own voice.

Because I miss Taehyung so much, because I miss my own daughter so much.

So there was really nothing but the sound of crying.








Wandering through that dark, long tunnel for four years.

Knowing full well that we will never meet again.

So what should I say, what should I do when we meet?

I never thought about it.


I wonder if Tae-eun thinks I'm a bad mother.

What if you don't know who I am?

I wonder if, just maybe, I've been criticized for not having a mom all this time.

Of course, I'm sure not, but just in case...







I grabbed Taehyung's arm for no reason, feeling anxious.

It was Taehyung who was quietly looking into my eyes.

Don't worry. Tae-eun's face gave the impression of confidence that she would recognize Yeo-ju.














The words that followed.

"I'll go get him right away. Don't worry or cry, okay?"

''I don't think so, I'll go and come back.''
















So Taehyung left.

After that, I also headed to the bathroom.

You might say that even if we do this now, what will change?

Still, it's my first time seeing my daughter.

I didn't want to face him with that face.

Well, of course, it was obvious that Tae-eun would burst into tears again if she saw it...



















------------------------‐----------------------------------------‐----------------------------------------‐---


















''Did father come out?''

''Dad-!!''
 
''Is my daughter here?''

"Oh, right, teacher, starting tomorrow, can Tae-eun come home with me?"

''Huh, like today?''

"Yes, Tae-eun's mom came in. She's finished receiving treatment."





The last words were said so that Tae-eun could not hear them.

Taehyung spoke to Taeeun's teacher in his ear,

Tae-eun kept asking for information as if she was curious.




"Our daughter will go home later. Please hurry and say hello to the teacher."

''Phew... Goodbye...''










Tae-eun, who stuck out her mouth and expressed her frustration that he didn't tell her.

side-And Taehyung kissed her.








"No, why didn't Taeni tell me?"

"I'll tell you when I get home. Tae-eun will be so surprised!"

''Is there a gift...?''

''It's so much better than a gift.
I guess Tae-eun showed up to surprise me with a birthday present...ㅎ''

''Bae- don't talk to me all the time''

''Let's go''

















------------------------‐----------------------------------------‐----------------------------------------‐---















After Taehyung left, Yeoju got up and headed to the bathroom.

Even though I saw Tae-eun in a picture, seeing her in person is different.

The female protagonist saw Tae-eun far away through the window in the living room.





''ha....''




After seeing Tae-eun, I felt like I had let her go for so long.

I shed so many tears that I doubted if there would be more to come.

Again, it was coming out of Yeoju's eyes.


Tae-eun's vision is getting blurry because of those tears

The heroine kept wiping it off to see it somehow.


If you keep looking until it doesn't look like that,

Taehyung and Taeeun disappeared before my eyes. I knew they would come up soon.

I quickly go into the bathroom.














------------------------‐----------------------------------------‐----------------------------------------‐---














"Huh? Dude. Whose shoes are these?!?"

"First, Tae-eun takes off her bag and washes her hands."

"Tch, don't always talk to Taeni."

"Still, I'll tell you after I finish this. No."

''Our dad is Sir''


"You shouldn't have told your dad about that. He didn't give you a present..."

''Oh, Ara-seo!! Dad, Joa, okay?!''




photo
''Oh my, seriously. I don't know who I resemble haha''

''You look like your dad, Mo''

''Let's go wash our hands quickly-''














So I put my bag down, washed my hands and came out.

Unlike what I said to Tae-eun

Taehyung only starts talking after changing his clothes.





Tae-eun, Daddy's Daughter

''Hurry up, hurry up!!''

''When you enter the room, there will be someone Tae-eun has been waiting for for a very, very long time.''

"Really?! I want to go in quickly."

''Come in quickly''






But before I tell you that Mom is here,

Did you want people to know that you were the female lead just by looking at your face?

Taehyung doesn't say anything and just lets Taeeun into the room.
























Dad, there's no one here?!Tae-eun, who had been sent into the room, came out and spoke.

Taehyung and Taeeun went back in together.





























------------------------‐----------------------------------------‐----------------------------------------‐---











Dad, there's no one here?!Tae-eun's voice speaking like that.

No, actually I heard it before that

Hearing Tae-eun's voice, didn't the tears I had been holding back burst out even more?

I really wanted to see you, and I wish I could at least hear your voice.

When I actually heard it, all I could do was cry.

I'm so sorry, I'm so so so sorry.

I couldn't even go out and just cried, but...




''Hey lady...''



Taehyung came and hugged me tightly.

It's okay, it's okay, okay?Then he gently patted my back,

I cried even more sadly in his arms...




''Mom...?''




He carefully held my fingers with his tiny hands.

It was Tae-eun looking up.




For a moment, I thought I had misheard, so I looked up at Taehyung.

Tae-eun recognized her mom... hahaHe said and let it go.

At the same time, I crouched down to Tae-eun's eye level.



''Tae-eun... Tae-eun...''

''Are you really my mom...? Are you really Taeni's mom?!''

''Yeah... Tae-eun's mom... ugh''


















After that, the three of them somehow entered the room at Taehyung's words.

The female protagonist was sitting on the bed and hugging Tae-eun tightly.

Still, the tear ducts did not dry up and continued to flow.



''I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Tae-eun...''

''Really... is this really Taeni's mom?''

''Ugh... ugh''

"Mom, aren't you going to be okay now? Are you feeling better...?"

"Yeah, Mom, I'm all- better.. Mom, I'm okay now."

''Then... Then... Mom, will you stay with Taeni from now on..?''



When you ask the question, "Will you be with me?"

Tae-eun's voice was shaking a lot.



"Yeah, Mom, I'm not going anywhere and I'll stay with Tae-eun from now on.
Mom came too late... I'm sorry, I'm sorry Tae-eun.''











At the heroine's words that she would continue to be with him.

Tae-eun, who had been holding back tears for so long, burst into tears in the arms of the woman he was holding.



Maybe, you had a hard time talking to your dad about your mom.

Even if you pretend not to care, I must have missed you a lot.

Still, I couldn't bring myself to tell my dad.

Tae-eun, who had been holding it in inside.

Tae-eun, who is like that, cries loudly in her mother's arms today.


Why did you come so late?

Why didn't you call me even once?

Why have you never come to see Tae-eun?

Mom said she hates me for coming home late.

I missed you so much.

I didn't tell my dad, but I really missed you. I wanted to see you.

I just cried and threw a tantrum like a 5-year-old would.

All of her usual dignified appearance disappeared, and she was just her mother's daughter.

As a child, I would swear at my mother, which was both annoying and loving.



The female lead feels sorry for Tae-eun crying loudly.

Mom said she missed our daughter a lot.

Until now, I only called his name out of guilt,

He called her "my daughter" and hugged her even tighter than before.

And, trying not to cry.

If you cry, I feel more sorry.

I'm already sorry, but I feel like I'll be even more sorry, so.












Quite a bit of time has passed like that

The female protagonist stopped crying a long time ago and is feeling a little better.

Tae-eun cried loudly in his arms and fell asleep.

Next to him, he wrapped one hand around the female protagonist's shoulder,

Taehyung runs his fingers over Taeeun's foot with his other hand.


''Tae-eun... This is the first time I've seen you cry like this...''

"You've been patient for so long, Tae-eun..."

"Tell Dad... I didn't know anything."

''Still... because you treated me well, my daughter grew up so well.''

"I love you so much, my lady."














































That morning.

No, if we look at it in terms of time, it was the next morning.


I didn't sleep at all and just watched Yeo-ju and Tae-eun sleep. Then I came out.

I've had quite a bit of alcohol.

Maybe it's because I can't believe this fact.

Of course, the female protagonist felt the same way, but how much more so must Taehyung have felt since he remembers everything...


"Miracle"There is a saying, "miracle."

Let's define it

1. Strange events that cannot be imagined with common sense 2. Mysterious phenomena believed to have occurred by God

And, it happens in a very short period of time. And then it can disappear...


The dead coming back, that's just ridiculous.

It may be a miracle for some, or a misfortune for others.

The latter will not be much.

Because I cared for and loved that person so much.

The heroine came back to life.

I don't know how other people remembered the heroine, but

At least for Taehyung and Taeeun, it's truly a miracle.

That's why Taehyung is more fearful.

Because it suddenly appears like a miracle and you never know when it might suddenly disappear.

Seeing it again like this? It's so good, but I don't know when I'll be able to see it again.

Because of that, I can't tell anyone and just drink and swallow it alone.

Because something happened that would make anyone passing by say, "What kind of crazy guy is that?"

Taehyung is feeling anxious for no reason and just drinks alcohol.











I didn't even know that the female protagonist had woken up.



''Brother...''

I just woke up and called Taehyung in a sleepy voice...

''Oh...hey, heroine, keep sleeping''

"Oh my... You really smell like alcohol. How did you drink so much?"

''Just... why did you wake up?''

"Does that matter? I've definitely told you plenty. Just don't drink."

''Today is my first time''

“Okay. If it weren’t for the time I was eating with Jimin oppa, I would have only been drinking.   ...

''That's right, she's my wife... haha''

''So, why are you drinking alone, huh?''

''Hey, my lady...''

"What's going on? You're not going to tell me?"

''Just... because I like it so much. So... hehe''

''and''

''I'm just... scared... because I don't know when it'll disappear again.''

"Oh my, my brother, you couldn't tell me how hard it was for you, so what did you do?"

''....Yeju, my yeobo-oh''

“I won’t disappear. I won’t disappear. From now on, I’ll remain as Kim Taehyung’s wife and Taeeun’s mother for the rest of my life. Don’t worry, okay?”

''Really... I promised.''

''Of course, have you ever seen me break a promise?''

''Four years ago, I didn't keep it then...''

''But still, I came back here and am now in Kim Taehyung's arms?''

''I can't live like this.... really.... haha''

"Honey, can I tell you a secret?"

''What is it?''

“There was someone I really, really loved, and it was so, really nice to see them again, but they said they smelled really drunk right now, lol. But they said they still loved them so, so much. Oh, and tell them that you’ve had a hard time, that you worked so hard. Now that you have someone who will support you a lot, don’t worry, and that it won’t go away. So now you can just tell them everything that’s been hard for you.”

''What the heck, seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ''

"Why- I told you to tell me so"

''Oh my, is that so? Who would have done that? Haha.''

''Hmm... what kind of woman is being hugged by a man who smells like alcohol? LOL''

''Would you tell that girl that I really hated you? LOL''

''...You really hate me. Yeah, I hate you too. I hate youㅡㅡ''

side

''I hate it. But I love it so much I could die.''

"It's not solved yet. One more time."

(Note) ''I love you, so much.''

''I love you so much too, honey, you know that?''


photo

''Well, I don't know if you know or not.   ...

''Oh my gosh, seriously, I can't stop it

In Taehyung's arms, like before, as if nothing had happened.

And so, a new day passes with the return of the heroine, and another new day,

I am welcoming you with my loved one.








There is a saying:

photo


Perhaps even during the four years when there was no female protagonist,

Because miracles would happen every day.

I will continue to think of every day as a miracle.

Without fear of disappearing for no reason,

I will spend each day loving you more and more.

Because miracles have happened, are happening, and will happen every day.

With my loved ones by my side,

I will not waste a single day, I will go with a miracle.

Whatever it is, it will always be good.

I try to live like that every day with a new miracle.








''I love you, my husband''

"Me too, I love you more. Our heroine, my sweetheart."




END.
